I am an amateur artist and I have lived and worked in Hampshire all my life.      

For 26 years I was employed by Eastleigh College teaching floral design.    The knowledge and understanding of design gained through this, proved invaluable when I rekindled my childhood love of painting over 20 years ago.

I work mainly in watercolour although sometimes experiment with other water media.   Colour and texture are definitely the main elements of design that influence my paintings.   I find inspiration from a wide variety of subjects.   Flowers, of course, but I also like to portray aspects of local landscapes and buildings.   However, probably my favourite subject matter is the result of happy holidays on the continent over many, many years.  

I have recently started exploring acrylics and am inspired by the freedom this medium offers.

I do hope you enjoy your visit to my website.
